Solo Violin JACQUES THIBAUD
Concerto No. 4 in D for Violin and Orchestra ... Mozart
Foremost of living French violinists and one of the virtuoso violinists of the world, Jacques Thibaud is paying his second visit to Britain since the liberation of France. He is an excellent player with an exceptionally pure and lovely tone, and the works that he will play in this concert are calculated to display his art at its best. Listeners may remember his chamber music performances before the war when he formed a trio with Cortot and Casals. Thibaud has not abandoned his love of chamber music and is planning to give i series of concerts shortly in Paris with Dame Myra Hess.
The D major Violin Concerto, with four others, was written in 1775 when Mozart was nineteen. It certainly may lack the more profound character of Mozart's mature style, but for youthful carefree spirits, spontaneity of invention, and beautiful and effective writing for the solo instrument it must rank as one of the great violin concertos of all time.
Variations on a Theme of Haydn ......... Brahms
Poeme for Violin and Orchestra ......... Chausson
Like many other musicians, Ernest Chausson began as a lawyer, but at the age of twenty-five he gave up law for music. His first move was to enter Massenet's composition class at the Paris Conservatoire, and he also studied with Cesar Franck for three years. From Massenet he acquired the art of writing with the utmost purity of texture and from Cesar Franck he derived his richness of harmonic colour and deep romantic feeling. These qualities are particularly discernible in this 'Poeme' for violin and orchestra, which was produced in 1896.
